Our tool is sometimes called the pool size calculator or pool gallon calculator because it works with any units not just with metric.
Average inground pool size gallons.
Measure the length width and average depth of the pool rounding each measurement off to the nearest foot or percentage of one foot.
Find the average width of the pool.
A 16 by 32 foot pool with the same depth will hold about 19 200 gallons and a 20 by 40 foot pool will hold 30 000 gallons.
The pool gallon calculator first calculates the surface area.
The pool calculator shows the volume of water needed to fill up the pool.
For our final example let s say that i want to know how many us gallons of water it will take to fill an oval tank that measures 30 feet in width 20 feet in length and 10 feet deep.
A pool s water capacity in gallons depends on its total area and its average depth.
55 3 18 3 feet.
For head first diving a depth of at least 9 feet is recommended by the red cross.
Let s say you re working with a pool that has three widths.
Below are standard pool sizes and pool construction costs.
So add them up and divide by 3.
Oval pools multiply full width x full length x average depth x 6 7 gallons irregular shapes and size pools capacity should be determined by your pool builder or specialist.
Inground pool sizes prices.
If your pool has sloping sides multiply your final figure of gallonage by 0 85 for correct gallonage.
Determine the average depth.
The average width of the pool is 18.
A pool s water capacity in gallons depends on its total area and its average depth.
Length x width x average depth x multiplier volume in us gallons.
In our case it s 22 441 57 us gallons.
Since there are 7 5 gallons in each cubic foot multiply the cubic feet of the pool by 7 5 to arrive at the volume of the pool expressed in gallons.
Multiplier 7 5 for rectangle square or free form pools.
Now just find the average of all the widths of the pool by adding up the different widths and dividing by the amount of widths.
One inch equals 0 0833 feet.
Average depth of a typical inground pool is 5 average depth of a typical above ground pool is 4 gallon multiplier for rectangle or square pools is 8 gallon multiplier for circular or oval pools is 6.
A 16 by 32 foot pool with the same depth will hold about 19 200 gallons and a 20 by 40 foot pool will hold 30 000 gallons.
20 15 20 55.
A 12 by 24 foot rectangular pool with an average depth of 5 feet will hold approximately 10 800 gallons of water.
For a 16x32 rectangle inground pool you would use 16 x 32 x 5 x 8 20 480 gallons.
To determine the average depth in a pool where the bottom slopes measure the shallow end the deep end depth.
If we didn t auto detect your preferred units click on meters to change it to gallons.
A 12 by 24 foot rectangular pool with an average depth of 5 feet will hold approximately 10 800 gallons of water.
